Spreadsheet Fields

Feature Only in Enterprise Edition   This feature is supported only in Visual C++ Enterprise Edition. For more information, see Visual C++ Editions.

The SQL debugger interface uses spreadsheet fields, similar to those of Microsoft Excel. These spreadsheet fields appear in the Watch window, the Variables window, and the QuickWatch dialog box.

Each window has certain spreadsheet fields that can be edited. In the Variables window, you can edit the fields in the Value column for local variables. In the Watch window, you can edit the fields in the Name and Value columns for local variables; global variables cannot be edited.

When working with these fields, you can autosize a column to fit its contents by double-clicking the divider. You can size a column manually by dragging the divider at the right edge of the column.

Note   Rows cannot be resized because they adjust to fit the current font. To change the font size, open the Tools menu, click Options, and use the Format tab.

To select a spreadsheet field for editing

1. Click one of the tabs to select the spreadsheet.
   
   
2. Use the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys to move to the correct line.
   
   
3. Press TAB to select the field and advance the selection to the next editable field. Press SHIFT+TAB to deselect the current field and move the selection back to the previous editable field.
